A look at the notable changes
Among those changes, Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen now has Unstoppable Force, while Lions standout receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has Double Me.
Additionally, the Madden 24 team reverted a Fatigue change that caused defenders to receive a significant penalty when pass rushing and engaging with a much larger blocker.
Fatigue has been adocumented issueamong the player base for several weeks. While the Madden development team stated the concept worked on premise, it led to other issues that hindered the user experience.
Here are the patch notes for theFebruary 28 Madden 24 title update:
DEV NOTE–Though the concept of this new fatigue penalty was something that was correct in premise, the application resulted in too many undesired artifacts that hindered the end user’s playing experience. We do plan to revisit this in the future and possibly implement a more comprehensive version in an upcoming title.
This title update launched alongside Season 5 of Madden Ultimate Team.
